Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 461 - 458: The Flying Sword is Unsheathed! [Second Update]
Chapter 461: Chapter 458: The Flying Sword is Unsheathed! [Second Update]
Golden Cauldron True Man, Heavenly Demon Ancestor, and Tang Leiting—these three formed a "品" shaped attack formation, their momentum resembling oceanic storms, trapping Li Chen tightly within.
Facing such a desperate killing situation, Li Chen was not afraid at all.
As the three of them approached, he suddenly burst out shouting.
"Seven-star Killing Formation, rise!"
Before his voice even fell, seven stone pillars suddenly surged up from the ground. The pillars were interconnected, creating a cycle that never ceased.
If one were to come here at night, they would be surprised to find that these seven pillars corresponded to the seven major stars in the sky: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaking Light.
This was a formation he had deliberately set up last night according to the Big Dipper, as well as the terrain and rivers, prepared for an unexpected need.
Golden Cauldron True Man’s Dragon Roar Hand collided with it, trapped like a fish in a net, utterly unable to deploy his power. Sensing trouble, he quickly withdrew his hand.
Heavenly Demon Ancestor’s Heavenly Demon Claw forcefully struck it, raising rolling clouds of dust, but it could not shake the Seven-star Killing Formation in the slightest, and he ended up embarrassingly covered in dust.
Tang Leiting’s swordsmanship was the sharpest, but it only left faint marks on it. Furthermore, this sword strike nearly made his eyes pop out of their sockets in shock.
Facing the siege of the three Demigod Realm peak powerhouses, Li Chen ingeniously resolved it with the formation. Even the century-old fiend Golden Cauldron True Man was shocked to the core.
"What kind of formation is this? How can it be so terrifying?" Heavenly Demon Ancestor retreated explosively, asking in astonishment.
"It seems that Immortal Master Li was well-prepared and set up the formation ahead of time. Taking the initiative from a position of rest, this strategy is indeed clever!"
Although the opponent was his brother’s murderer, Tang Leiting’s tone was full of appreciation.
"This formation is only for defensive purposes within a specific area and cannot attack, so there’s no need to fear him!"
Golden Cauldron True Man vocally reassured, concerned about the morale.
He was both right and wrong.
Now it was daytime, and the formation truly could only be used for defense, not attack.
But if it were nighttime, absorbing the power from the stars above, even a true Divine Realm powerhouse would struggle to come out unscathed.
With Li Chen backed by the Seven-star Killing Formation, he was momentarily in an invincible position.
But facing off against three Demigod Realm peak powerhouses, a head-on clash gave him no chance of victory.
Thus, both sides fell into a stalemate.
For a time, the slaughter made heavens and earth obscure, but who could not deal with whom?
At this moment, the battle between the Himalayan Snow Monster and Hongmen Great Dragon Head Yuan Jinxiong had also reached a critical point.
The two, one beast and one man, were roughly equal in strength, with Yuan Jinxiong excelling in movement technique, and the Snow Monster possessing fierce strength, each having their advantages. In the short term, it was hard to distinguish a winner.
Divine Tiger had an overwhelming advantage over Blizzard Goddess and Lady Rose, forcing them into a purely defensive position, with no chance to counter.
Only with the Heavenly Demon Young Master Mo Wushang joining the fray did it barely balance the battle.
The fight between Jiao Long and the Golden Python King was the most brutal.
If it were any other creature of the same rank, the Golden Python King and the Golden Giant Python would have long crushed the opponent.
But unfortunately, they were up against a Dragon Python with both dragon and python bloodlines, which inherently suppressed them completely.
Without fighting, their spirit was already broken!
Upon seeing the Dragon Python, the Golden Giant Python was as fearful as a student before a teacher, not daring to move forward, desperately flicking its forked tongue in vain attempts to intimidate the opponent.
Such cowardice not only failed to assist its master but even held back the Golden Python King. Pressured by Jiao Long, it kept retreating, on the verge of collapse.
Seeing the situation on his side was unfavorable, Golden Cauldron True Man shouted towards Tang Leiting and Heavenly Demon Ancestor: "I will hold off Immortal Master Li, you two go help Yuan Jinxiong kill those three beasts!"
"After we take care of them, we’ll join forces to attack and break the Array. I don’t believe with so many of us working together, we can’t kill such a minor Immortal Master Li?"
Tang Leiting and Heavenly Demon Ancestor exchanged glances and then nodded in succession.
The two of them charged, one towards Jiao Long, the other towards the Snow Monster.
Seeing this, Li Chen’s expression suddenly darkened.
The combat between the Snow Monster and Yuann Jinxiong was evenly matched, with neither side gaining any advantage.
Though the fight between Jiao Long and the Golden Python King was slightly in the former’s favor due to the power of its bloodline, the lead was merely half a step.
Should the Heavenly Demon Ancestor and Tang Leiting go to reinforce, it would not take more than ten rounds for their defeat to be certain.
By that time, his own situation would also become perilous.
No, he had to think of a way to shake off this old fellow and kill someone decisively!
With this in mind, Li Chen’s gaze locked onto Tang Leiting.
Among the five masters, this guy had the weakest cultivation.
And when it came to swordplay, Immortal Master Li was not afraid of anyone.
Having covertly made up his mind, Li Chen deliberately exposed a very inconspicuous flaw, then frantically tried to correct it, tempting Golden Cauldron True Man to fall for the bait.
Golden Cauldron True Man, outsmarted by his own cleverness, thought he had crossed more bridges than the roads Li Chen had walked, assuming that the other was inexperienced. He seized the moment, rashly charging in, hoping to break the Seven Star Formation in one fell swoop.
However, at the moment he entered the formation, a smug cold smile played upon the corner of Li Chen’s lips.
Golden Cauldron True Man cursed inwardly, trying to make a hasty retreat.
But would Li Chen give him such an opportunity?
"Drawing the ground as a prison!"
Li Chen struck out with his palm, sealing the Life Gate to block Golden Cauldron True Man.
Golden Cauldron True Man dared not underestimate his opponent; his True Yuan climbed higher, Protective True Qi swirling around him like a hurricane, enveloping him within.
"Li Chen, you brat, do you really think you can kill me with these trivial skills? You’re underestimating Golden Cauldron True Man!"
Li Chen replied with a cold laugh: "Heh, whether I can kill you or not, let’s find out!"
"Clang!"
The Dragon Abyss Divine Sword broke free from its sheath, an Azure Dragon Illusion coiled around it, soaring towards the heavens.
Golden Cauldron True Man realized that Li Chen’s sword was extraordinary and dared not belittle it, immediately gathering his True Yuan all around him, staying fully on guard.
However, to his great surprise, Li Chen merely feinted with his sword and then threw the Dragon Abyss outward.
A carp can transform into a dragon when it meets a storm.
The Dragon Abyss turned into a golden giant dragon as it entered the clouds, instantly tearing through the sky, shooting violently towards Tang Sect Master Tang Leiting below.
Tang Leiting and the Golden Python King, working together, were pressing down on Jiao Long. It never crossed their minds that Li Chen would wield a flying sword to strike them, and they were utterly shocked.
The flying sword was too fast; he couldn’t dodge, and quickly pulled up the black case behind him, tossing it into the air to meet the Dragon Abyss.
From the black case emerged exactly forty-nine swords. Seven horizontal and seven vertical, with a luminescence circling and guiding them, forming a gigantic net of swords.
Seeing this, a scornful cold smile crept onto Li Chen’s lips.
"Heh, with three million Sword Immortals in the heavens, even they would have to bow before me. With your rudimentary swordsmanship, you dare to act fierce in my presence?"
"Sword up!"
"Slash!"
